I like Reilly. I’ve always enjoyed watching him play

 

[JungleBeat]

So that’s Namestikov and Reilly coming over for draft picks. Unnecessary.

It's a fifth round pick. Chabot played almost forty minutes two weeks ago, this isn't a big deal lol.

Who said it’s a big deal? Also, it’s not like Chabot was the only dman playing. DJ made him play those minutes, nothing wrong with playing Boro heavy minutes in a tanking season.

Lots of time left til the deadline and both of the picks were from 2021. Reilly also is signed next year and is a fine 6/7D.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

This should seal the deal on boro getting traded.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

If he gets ice time, I imagine you can get your 5th back for him, maybe a 4th.

Who's the prospect?

 

[RAFI BOMB]

I am happy we kept out 2020 picks. Seems like a solid acquisition.

A 5th ?

He must've had a bonus paid already.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Below average bottom pairing guy making 1.5M this year and next

Don't know how the Habs got a pick out of us, but if it means Brannstrom finally gets sent down, consider me a fan of this move.

 

[BankStreetParade]

Guys, we took on money in a trade...what the hell is going on? New owner???? Are we selling both of our firsts this year for cash????

 

[Matsens15]

I like this move!

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Eh, I wouldn't have, but whatever.

Why take on Marleau's 4M deal for a 1st when you can take on 4.75M for Namestnikov and Reilly and give up picks?

For a team with a limited budget, we sure like to waste money.

Brannstrom had looked good since he came back from his stint with Belleville.

 

[Viletho]

It pretty much Rielly for a 5th but and they took Sturtz because of our contract limit. ( i believe we are near 50.

Seems like it.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

Yup no reason to send him down until around the end of season

He is 26 years old and looks to have untapped offensive potential. It is a pretty good deal for a reasonably young d man who still has 2nd pairing potential.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Lol at people in this thread who think we're not gonna just flip him for a similar pick in a yrs time.

The trade keeps the Sens at 48 contracts. Sturtz is 25 and was having a hard time staying in the lineup in Belleville. Gives him more of a chance to play and helps manage the contract situation. I also think this move makes it easier to heavily focus on drafting forwards in the upcoming draft. I think this draft has quality forwards in every round. Reilly is still young so that gives the Sens a d man that they could still build their d core with. This is arguably a better move than just acquiring a filler d man that is 30 or older.

We’re working the phones I like it

I mean, if he can't make it with the Habs, they must not think he's got much potential left untapped....
